• Communicate directly with the printers regarding any quality issues, and organize printed stock for finishing or for the next print location.
• Coordinate with the screen printer to fix damaged or misprinted pieces. If a piece cannot be fixed, notate it, separate it from the order, and communicate the discrepancy to the sales team so the customer can be informed.
• Manage outbound and shipping, ensuring exact counts are accounted for on every order leaving the building.
• Ensure all orders ship in a timely fashion so deliveries are never late.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and accurate work area at all times.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively with both the sales team and the print team.
• Highly organized and able to stay ahead of schedule while managing receiving, layout, quality control, and shipping responsibilities.
• Ability to spot manufacturing and print defects and take appropriate action to resolve or escalate them.
• Comfortable working in a hands-on manufacturing setting that involves standing, lifting boxes and garments, and moving stock.
• Reliable, self-motivated, and accountable, with a strong sense of ownership over accuracy and on-time delivery.
• Prior experience in receiving, inventory, shipping, warehouse, or apparel/print production is a strong plus, but we are willing to train the right detail-oriented and dependable candidate
